CLASSIC BEEF & TOMATO MACARONI SOUP

Steps:

• In a medium frying pan, brown the ground beef, onion and garlic until ground beef is no longer pink. Drain the grease (I also like to rinse it with hot water to remove most of the grease) and place in a large crockpot.
• Add the broth, cans of chopped and whole tomatoes, Worcestershire, ketchup,brown sugar (if wanted) and Italian seasoning. Add more sugar and Worcestershire to taste if needed. Place the lid on the crockpot and cook on low for 8-10 hours.
• When you are ready to serve, either add the dry macaroni and let cook for 20-25 minutes OR add cooked macaroni. Let the macaroni heat through and serve!
• Press the saute button and fry the ground beef and onions until the beef is no longer pink. Add in the garlic. Fry for another minute or so. Drain the grease.
• Use the Instant Pot like the slow cooker, using the slow cook button and the instructions above OR
• Add in the remaining ingredients except for the macaroni. Cook on the SOUP setting for 10 minutes. ( this really helps get the beef flavor going.) Release the pressure manually.
• Add the DRY macaroni, (not cooked or it will be mush!) then cook for 10 minutes on the SOUP setting again. Release manually or with the NPR ( naturally)
• Serve and enjoy!

BEEFY MAC AND CHEESE

Steps:

• Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook as the label directs. Reserve 3/4 cup of the cooking water, then drain the pasta. Meanwhile, melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the tomato paste and chili powder and stir until brick red, about 2 minutes. Add the beef and cook, stirring, until browned, 4 minutes. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon salt. Spread the mixture in a 3-quart flameproof baking dish. Preheat the broiler. Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a pot over medium heat. Add the flour and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add the milk and reserved cooking water, bring to a simmer and cook, whisking, until thick, 2 minutes. Add 2 cups cheese, the cooked pasta and 3/4 teaspoon salt and stir until the cheese melts. Spread over the beef mixture. Mix the remaining 1/2 cup cheese and the breadcrumbs; sprinkle over the pasta mixture and broil until golden. Top with the scallions.

BEEFY TOMATO MACARONI SOUP

Steps:

• In a large pot heat the olive oil over medium heat.
• Add the onion and garlic to the pot and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring, until the onion softens.
• Add the ground beef to the onions, breaking up with a spoon and cook until no longer pink.
• Next add the salt, pepper, oregano and the one shake of cayenne pepper to the beef and stir to combine.
• Now pour in the chicken stock, pasta sauce and Rotel. Stir and bring to a simmer for 10 minutes.
• Whisk in the cream cheese until smooth then add 1/2 of the fresh basil.
• Pour in the pasta, stir and let cook for 10 minutes, covered, stirring halfway through cooking.
• Spoon into bowls and garnish with the leftover basil.
• *Note: The cream cheese will look lumpy when it first goes in -- WITH A WIRE WHISK, keep whisking it and it will blend until you see no white cream cheese left.
